And while all that certainly has something to do with their emerging from oblivion to make the NFL's Final Four, there's no logical explanation for the crazy series of events that also have led the Giants to this most magical time of their existence.
Coming together as a team is not the only reason the Giants are still standing. Destiny has played a major role as well.
We first flash back to Dec. 11 at Cowboys Stadium, where the hosts took a commanding 12-point lead with under six minutes remaining, thanks to a 50-yard TD bomb from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant, which came just after a pass by Giants quarterback Eli Manning was tipped at the line and intercepted.
Undaunted, the Giants responded with two touchdowns in the next five minutes to take the lead, only to allow Romo to bring the Cowboys into field-goal range, where their game-tying attempt from 47 yards was blocked by Jason Pierre-Paul.
Still, the Giants were only 7-6. A home loss to Washington the following week dropped them to 7-7.
Yet they were still somehow in control of their destiny. Beat the New York Jets the next week and the Cowboys at home the week after that, and they'd be in, thanks in large part to the Eagles' having uncharacteristically played themselves out of the NFC East race early and the Cowboys being, well, the Cowboys.
This didn't look like an easy chore, however. The Jets, who had advanced to the last two AFC Championship Games, were fighting for their playoff lives. And so were the Cowboys.
Turns out, it was.
The Jets offered some harsh resistance at first, before completely rolling over to reveal their soft underbellies in a 29-14 Giants romp. The Cowboys followed suit the following week, enabling the Giants to win the division with a 9-7 mark and all kinds of flaws — mostly defensive.
They gave up 25 points per game in the regular season, in which they also allowed the league's sixth highest yards per game (376.4).
No way would they not be exploited by Atlanta's high-powered aerial attack once the playoffs started.
But the Falcons couldn't score any offensive points in a 24-2 defeat against a defense that bore little resemblance to the one the Giants featured almost the entire season.
Then came the ultimate proving ground of Green Bay, where the Packers hadn't lost in 15 months. They not only lost, but they lost big and played scared the whole time.
If there was any doubt remaining about the wheels starting to come off, Packers coach Mike McCarthy erased them with the ridiculously foolish decision to attempt an onside kick after tying the game on the first play of the second quarter. Superior teams just don't try onside kicks in those situations. The risk is completely unnecessary.
Even though the Packers held on the ensuing defensive series by blocking a Giants field goal, the message was clear: The coach of the team with the best record in football was scared, and now every player on both teams knew it.
That nervous energy likely was transmitted to the players and manifested itself in the form of four ghastly turnovers — five, if you count the botched replay ruling that overturned another clear lost fumble by the Packers.
So a team that had turned the ball over only 14 times all year lost it four times in one game, and the Giants were right there to capitalize.
What's more, NFL conspiracy theorists gained points with the shoddy defensive sequence at the end of the first half in which Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw was allowed to run clear across the field to get out of bounds on a 23-yard reception to set up a Hail Mary attempt on the final play.
Hakeem Nicks caught it. Off his helmet. As David Tyree did to keep the winning touchdown drive going against undefeated New England in Super Bowl XLII four years ago.
Too weird.
The Giants have played great, to be sure, but they've been aided by some unexplainable events as well.
Monday, tackle Kareem McKenzie tried to put it all in perspective.
"There's a rhyme and reason for everything, undoubtedly," he said. "Superstitious? No. But I do believe in a rhyme and reason for things transpiring and taking full advantage of the opportunities that present themselves."
When you combine the explainable elements with the unexplainable ones, you can come to only one conclusion: It's a great time to be a New York Football Giant.

PE is Ground, supply the two terminals with 220v. Don't worry about frying it, it will do that all by itself.
I'm installing a new Grundfos SQE pump system at my home. I've installed several pumps and controls previously, but that's basically my hillbilly plumbing and no problem, this thing is very high tech so I have a simple and maybe dumb question. The system is 220v. The wiring diagram shows the power hookup to the two terminals as power and neutral and one to PE (protected earth). Now if I hook up power and neutral I'll only get 120v of course, so I'm assuming the power terminals must be for the two power legs. Is this so? The PE is for ground, yes? This things too expensive to make a blunder and fry it. Thanks.

Yep, I've read all the issues with these. I bought this a few years ago on the bay and it seemed like an excellent concept and I've had good experiences with other Grundfos products such as circulator pumps. Of course there are many folks that have no trouble at all with these units like the fellow that's been using one since 2002 with no issues, but we hear from those that do. Had I read this site I would likely have stuck with Myers predators which I use in my other wells. I wanted constant pressure so that I could use a fire hose on the system as I live in a dead end canyon in a forest in So. Cal and it pumps 22gpm. I'm beginning to believe that all these high tech gizmos are problematic as my Paloma tankless is now again shutting down without giving hot water after I shut off the water for a time to work on the plumbing. They are all so complex that even repair people seem to have a hard time diagnosing problems. I ussed to use the old, simple, non electric palomas for years with little hassle and always was able to repair them. At least I can switch to a simple pressure switch or CSV if it fails.

Poudre Valley Hospital will welcome back on August 27 the children who began their lives as premature or critically ill infants in the hospital's state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit.
Safety is the theme of this sixth annual reunion from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 27. PVH has partnered with the Larimer County Sheriff's department, Poudre Fire Authority, Colorado State Patrol, PVHS Ambulance Service and SafeKids of Larimer County for this year's reunion. Emergency response vehicles will be on hand for the children to explore; a professional photographer will capture images of the children posed on a child-sized fire truck or police car; and lunch will be served.
Parents with premature or critically ill babies treated in PVH's neonatal intensive care unit are invited to the reunion. Parents can RSVP online or by calling 970.495.8293.
The event will take place at PVH, 1024 S. Lemay Ave. in Fort Collins, on the east side of the building and in the PVH's café courtyard on the hospital's lower level.
"Our annual preemie reunion is such a special event," said Pat Bohling-Smith, director of PVH's women and family care department. "The physicians and staff look forward to reconnecting with past patients. It's remarkable to see how these little ones have grown."
The reunion is a celebratory time for the hospital, too. The staff on the neonatal intensive care unit routinely cares for newborns as young as 28 weeks gestation rather than having them transported to Denver hospitals that offer the same specialized critical care.
PVH is the only hospital between Denver and Billings, Mont., that offers Level IIIa care. The designation is one of the highest that can be achieved. Levels I and II nurseries care for well or moderately premature infants, while Level IIIb and lllc nurseries focus on critically ill infants requiring complex cardiac and surgical care. Since receiving the Level IIIa designation in 2006, PVH has cared for approximately 2,200 infants.
The three neonatologist physicians and six neonatal nurse practitioners who work in PVH's neonatal intensive care unit also provide services to two Denver hospitals - Children's Hospital and University of Colorado Health Sciences Center - that are nationally recognized for the treatment of infants.
Dr. Daniel Satterwhite, PVH neonatologist and neonatal intensive care unit medical director, said the affiliation with the University of Colorado and Children's Hospital Colorado has enabled a higher level of expertise and care in northern Colorado. PVH's relationship with the two Denver hospitals means the best treatment and latest technology in neonatal intensive care is readily available for northern Colorado families who need the services.
"It's in the baby's best interest to provide treatment locally rather than transporting them to another city, he said. We like to keep families together and close to home. This affiliation provides the best care without forcing families to travel long distances to see their babies."
Other PVH staff members who provide Level IIIa care - nurses, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists and physical therapists - are extensively trained in neonatal critical care. The hospital has state-of-the-art ventilators, cardiac monitors, Isolettes and other equipment specially designed to treat tiny, sick infants.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

Flagging Barcelona stunned by Real Madrid
Barcelona endured a painful 3-1 loss to Real Madrid at the Camp Nou Tuesday in the return leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. Jordi Alba scored for the Blaugrana, who enjoyed 62 percent of possession and attempted 11 shots, three on target.
-- Ronaldo's brace eliminates Barca in Copa
Based on his recent performance against Sevilla, most Cules were expecting on-form David Villa to start . His ability to pull markers back by running behind their backs proved decisive in the weekend and allowed Lionel Messi more space to develop his usual game. Unfortunately, El Guaje had to wait for his chance on the bench.
As a result, Barcelona looked in desperate need of a sharper attacking presence during the first half, when Messi was mostly isolated and surrounded by up to five defenders whenever he managed to set foot in the Real Madrid area. That the Blaugrana were unable to add that extra, decisive gear to speed to their pass-and-move game didn't help, either.
Despite their impressive start to the season, Barcelona is beginning to show worrying signs at a crucial stage. I believe the team has been missing their inspirational leader and mentor Tito Vilanova for a while, but the fact that these difficulties have reached the surface makes them more visible.
The Blaugrana could certainly use Tito's ability to motivate the squad before matches and make an impact on-the-go by introducing the right players and slight tactical changes as the games develop.
I was not impressed by Jordi Roura's decision to complain about referee Undiano Mallenco before the match even kicked off either. However negative Barcelona's stats may have been whenever Mallenco officiated their games, a team of the Catalans' calibre should be above such pitiful comments and fully focused on winning on the pitch.
Sure, Real Madrid played a physical game and Mallenco could have been a bit more strict about booking players. But that was not the difference. Real Madrid were more thorough, incisive and effective in their attacking third. Predictability and a degree of complacency became Barcelona's greatest enemy.
Despite being stunned by the disappointing result (only natural considering the hosts hadn't lost at the Camp Nou since April 2012) most fans continued to chant the Blaugrana anthem until the final whistle.
As for those Cules who left before the game was over and the Merengues who decided to throw a flare at Barcelona supporters: true fans must know how to win and lose, however big the rivalry may be.
A truly painful result for Barcelona, but the team should waste no time regretting they won't be in the Copa final, but focus on regaining their previous sharpness to maintain the La Liga lead and overturn the deficit to AC Milan in the Champions League in the home leg.
Player Ratings (0-10; 10=best)
Jose Manuel Pinto (5) – Beaten three times, but couldn't do much to save any goal. In fact, he saved a couple of dangerous shots which would have made the result even more difficult to come to terms with.
Dani Alves (5) – Found it difficult to have his usual attacking influence, as did the rest of the team. His well-timed challenge on Ronaldo during the first half was impressive, though.
Carles Puyol (4) – Will be frustrated after a poor performance. Painfully beaten by the speed of Angel di Maria on the second Madrid goal.
Gerard Pique (3) – His clumsy challenge on Cristiano Ronaldo virtually gifted Madrid their crucial first goal; should have definitely stayed on his feet and held position. Tried to make amends afterwards, but the damage was already done.
Jordi Alba (5) – Joined attack continuously from the left, but his positive contribution also meant his man was left unmarked behind him far too often. Scored the only Blaugrana goal with a courageous effort in the dying moments.
Sergio Busquets (4) – Unable to impose his presence in midfield or make a significant difference in Barcelona's attacking game.
Xavi Hernandez (4) – His passing was simply not quick and precise enough to unbalance the game in the Catalans' favour.
Cesc Fabregas (3) – A frustratingly quiet display. Unable to break the Madrid back-line, didn't rotate positions as usual, didn't connect with Messi at any point.
Lionel Messi (4) – Largely unnoticed, perhaps as a result of the generally slow pace the Blaugrana midfielders inflicted in their attacking game. Seemed to lack the necessary physical and mental freshness.
Pedro Rodriguez (4) – Eager to make things happen from wide positions, but got excessively frustrated by claiming fouls rather than simply getting on with play whenever challenged. Should have kept his focus.
Andres Iniesta (6) – Man of the Match - Mostly able to beat his markers with skilful slaloms from deep but failed to find many gaps in the Madrid back line, as did most of his teammates. Assisted Alba for his late goal.
Substitutes: David Villa (5), Cristian Tello (5), Thiago (5)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National School Boards Association (NSBA) is partnering with New Regency, Penguin Books, and the filmmakers to distribute copies of the acclaimed film, book, and study guide 12 Years a Slave to America's public high schools.
The initiative, coordinated by Montel Williams, will start to distribute 12 Years a Slave nationwide in September 2014 in concert with the new school year. It is modeled against an initiative Williams launched that ultimately led to distribution by The Montel Williams Show of copies of the Civil War film Glory to public high schools.
"12 Years a Slave is one of the most impactful films in recent memory, and I am honored to have been able to bring together Fox Searchlight and National School Boards Association to maximize its educational potential. When Hollywood is at its best, the power of the movies can be harnessed into a powerful educational tool. This film uniquely highlights a shameful period in American history, and in doing so will evoke in students a desire to not repeat the evils of the past while inspiring them to dream big of a better and brighter future, and I'm proud to be a part of that," said Williams.
"Since first reading 12 Years a Slave, it has been my dream that this book be taught in schools. I am immensely grateful to Montel Williams and the National School Boards Association for making this dream a reality and for sharing Solomon Northup's story with today's generation," said Steve McQueen, director of 12 Years a Slave.
12 Years a Slave is an award-winning film that depicts the harrowing tale of a New York State-born free black man kidnapped in Washington, D.C. in 1841 and sold into slavery. This groundbreaking film won the 2014 Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama, the Critics' Choice Award for Best Picture, the PGA Award for Best Picture, the BAFTA Award for Best Film and is nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture of the Year.
"The National School Boards Association is honored to partner with Fox Searchlight Pictures and Penguin Books to ensure that every public high school student in America has the opportunity to stare the stark realities of slavery in the eye through books and film," said NSBA President David A. Pickler. "We believe that providing America's public high school students the opportunity to bear witness to such an unrelenting view of the evils of slavery is essential toward ensuring that this history is never forgotten and must never be repeated."
Williams also has joined NSBA as a celebrity spokesperson in its Stand Up 4 Public Schools campaign that showcases the great things happening in America's public schools.
Founded in 1940, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) is a not-for-profit organization representing state associations of school boards and their more than 90,000 local school board members throughout the U.S. Working with and through our state associations, NSBA advocates for equity and excellence in public education through school board leadership. www.nsba.org

Austin >Bars & Pubs >
Lounges >Soho Lounge
217 E Sixth St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.267403 -97.740814
Neighborhoods: Downtown
The Doorman Hit a Girl – 2-10-12. Really? 6th St. can get boisterious and fun on a friday night, but when a establishment allows their employees to drink on the job; you should expect the worst.. The same doorman I saw pounding shots, got in 2 different fights and both times it was completely obvious he was instigating them. I guess he had his adrenaline running or whatever BS excuse, but a innocent college girl ran up and asked him to "please stop fighting!".. He quoted, "shut up, b****," and punched this innocent girl in the jaw for no reason!! He really hurt her. This a**hole belongs in prison.
Should I Support the Cause? – Imagine being a single entity of a group of 15+ diverse associates, friends, classmates, and co-workers. The one person who gets denied entry to the establishment is the 5'-10", 160 lb black man who's Hollister, collared, polo style, medium sized shirt happens to be too long. Of course as you demonstrated politely, the shirt could not possibly get any shorter, when you raise your arms this shirt actually comes right to your waistline. Of course this isn't the first time that this fine establishment has made a debauchery out of your presence at his fine establishment. The last time you visited it was your "extra baggy" Express jeans that gave you a threatening demeanor. Keep Austin Weird, but please don't make Austin Racist. I can only wish for the best…let's stop paying Austin bars and clubs to humiliate your own friends, co-workers, classmates, by making them aware of their color and denying them entrance based upon it please!
RACIST DISCRIMINATION – Went there last night and ADAM J. a bouncer told my friend that he wasnt going to let another black guy in the club.............. and then when another bouncer came up he said this guy is black and isnt getting in.. after that happended i asked to speak to a manager and they said he doesnt want to speak to you... then a guy who seemed to be abouncer came up and said i am the bouncer manager.... then he wouldnt show any proof of employment....
The Worst Employees on 6th Street – I was out on a Saturday and stopped at Soho with some friends. When I handed my ID to the door guy he was fooling around and gestured with his arm like a moron and my ID flipped out of his hand. My friends and I looked everywhere for it but could not find it. The door guy said to go talk to his manager and the manger was even more unprofessional and rude than the door guy. He first made a comment that if it was a fake that was my fault. I assured him it wasn't then he said "I can't believe I got pulled away from the bar for this. it didn't even happen in my bar so who cares!" He wouldn't even talk to me about the situation and the door guy that chucked my ID denied to his boss that he even did anything. I understand that mistakes happen but it was the way that the management handled the situation that really irked me. Now my ID is somewhere on 6th street and anybody could have picked it up. Do not go to this bar unless you want to be treated like some worthless human being even though your only goal is to go spend money at there bar so they can make money! Horrible customer service and beyond unprofessional!
Hit-or-miss – Had some great times, but also been there when it is dead as well. When it is on it is hopping. It is all about timing and a place that is great with a large group of friends
Great Atmosphere-Hot Bartenders!! – I love going to SOHO! Great atmosphere, Great music, Great drinks and prices!! PS.Jeremy is a really HOT bartender!!!
Irrepressibly hip East Sixth Street bar the high ceilings and ultraviolet lighting. – In Short
Beautiful people mingle against a musical background of throbbing techno--with an occasional classic rock interlude thrown in for good measure. The dance floor upstairs gets packed enough to give a fire department conniptions, but the tables somehow remain intimate even with a crowd. In true Austin fashion, the impeccably dressed bartenders have been seen shotgunning Lone Star from a can, so don't let the swank factor fool you.
the new place to be on 6th – the new soho is in effect...a brand new owner...and the coolest staff on 6th st. I visit there everytime I come to town. I love the strong drinks, awesome dancing, and great people. I always have the best time when I'm there. The dancing, music, and all the hot people are a bonus.

- IMS Statement On Passing Of Jason Leffler
June 13, 2013 | By MEDIA RELEASE
IMS Statement On Passing Of Jason Leffler
A statement from Indianapolis Motor Speedway Chief Operating Officer J. Douglas Boles about the death of driver Jason Leffler from injuries suffered in a sprint-car race June 12 at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J.:
"We are very saddened at the passing of Jason Leffler. He was one of the most versatile race drivers in America, showing his talent by competing in the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during his career. He also displayed the skills that would help him reach the top levels of the sport by winning four USAC national series titles while winning on tracks throughout the Midwest. Jason was a terrific guy who always had time for everyone. Our deepest sympathies are extended to his entire family, team and fans."
Leffler, 37, competed in the Indianapolis 500 in 2000 and the Brickyard 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008.

While sadness and grieving were the overwhelming emotions in Sparks, many counselors and principals were busy supporting their fellow administrators and their students in coping with such a tragic event.
"Even though we are a very large district, we are a very small community," said Angela Flora, principal at Lincoln Park Elementary School in Sparks. "Principals and teachers are very close and there were a lot of phone calls and emails that went out yesterday.
"We have to all be in it together as our district community and we have to let people know we are thinking of them and they, in turn, are thinking of me. We need to help each other through these tough times."
District counselors held student and parent sessions at Sparks High School Monday morning and the efforts have continued at all schools in the district and at the Johnson Community Center in Sparks. Cindy Raymond, lead counselor at Shaw Middle School in Spanish Springs, admitted the situation is one no one enjoys dealing with, but said the district's effort has proved the inseparable nature of its internal community.
"We were all in shock, but the positive thing is that the WCSD staff has come together and supported Sparks Middle School very well," Raymond said.
Information continues coming to light regarding the deadly shooting at Sparks Middle School that killed a math teacher and the student shooter. Raymond said as more facts are being revealed, the counseling departments at Shaw Middle School, and other WCSD schools, are working to ensure students and parents receive continual resources.
"The positive thing is we don't just stop a couple days afterward," Raymond said. "The Washoe County School District has a philosophy that we are all in this together and we are going to be supporting them for months on end with whatever they need. The whole school is definitely who we look at – parents, staff and students."
Raymond said information was sent home to parents discussing the tragic events, some tips on speaking to their children and the plans for Shaw Middle School students to aid students and faculty at Sparks Middle School. Raymond said Enrichment periods this week will be used to make posters and personal notes for students and staff returning to Sparks Middle School next week.
"One of the things that has to be kept in mind is that everyone grieves differently and so many people need to get back to a routine right away, and some people need extra time to grieve and to process," Raymond said. "I think we all need to process (the event) in certain ways, and that needs to be done and routine needs to be started. Grieving is different for everybody so you have to know what that person's way of grieving is and be there any way you can.
"The district is doing a fabulous job in supporting the families and using their crisis plans and those kinds of things. I think understanding that there are many resources out there, like the Red Cross or private therapists, that can help people is important. People need to reach out and find those people who are there for them."
Flora said handing her elementary school students comes very differently given their age difference. She said parental teamwork and involvement was crucial following Monday's events.
"The parents trust us to let them be the parents," Flora said. "We are very careful because our students are much younger than middle school or high school students. We wanted to make sure that parents could impart any information they wanted to in the way the way wanted to.
"I did not have a lot of questions yesterday, so it was really a matter of working with parents. Parents have great resources in the district. That really has to be up to the parents to decide anytime there is any kind of information or anything that happens in the country or in our state."
Still, Flora said those students and faculty who were aware of the events and were simply seeking emotional support found plenty at Lincoln Park on Tuesday.
"I just know teachers, regardless of what is happening in the world or our own neck of the world, they love what they do and they are here for the kids. They are there for each other," Flora said. "You can see in these times how much they really do care. You can see the strength of the community on display right now and it is in these hard times that we have to pull together to help each other through."
Raymond agreed with Flora on the cohesiveness of the district's staff and updates on counseling sessions will come through the WCSD website at www.washoe.nv.k12.us.
"We are all in it together," Raymond said. "We are a big district, but when something like this happens, I don't know if it seems like it is small, but it just seems that we are all in it together. If you say your are part of the school district, then we know we consider you family."

Denial of service made easy
A slow death for the default configuration.
In a thought experiment that might not be historically accurate, but is close enough, you want to build a web server, so you program a socket-based server. A client connects, requests a file, you send the file, the client disconnects, and everyone is happy. The total transaction time is around 300 milliseconds. But you get a bug report that some guy's web server keeps getting slower and slower until it eventually dies. What to do?

Background: Just put in a new well pump (Goulds 10GS10, 220 foot well, ~120 ft static head).
After things settled out I have now noticed a slow pressure leak -- tank pressure drops down over an hour or so triggering pump. I shut off house side and confirmed it is back leaking into the well head, not into the house. I assume this means the tank check valve (a Flowmatic, estimated age 16+ years) is not seating fully. Tank membrane tests good, it's a well-x-trol; I don't know the number off hand , but I measure about 6.5 gals to empty it from 55PSI to empty. Backflow problem did not exist before the well pump was replaced.
1) On restart of we brought up noticeable sand and sediment. Water is pumping and running crystal clear now, but I still get a little bit of sand if I drain the tank to completely empty. Could it be bits of sand keeping the valve from seating?
2) Should I just replace the valve anyway, for good measure rather than trying to trouble shoot it?
3) Should I worry that the check valve at the pump is not seating as well and call the installer?
Yes, you should call the installer back his work is guaranteed right?
LLigetfa -- Good point on leaks. It occurred to me that maybe they didn't seat the pitless right or something, but I suppose the system could be leaking anywhere along the tube or even at the new fitting on the pump. FYI, it's a modern bladder tank, so the valve is (as far as I can tell) a backflow check valve made by Flowmatic.
I read the "sticky" thread on check valves, and see the points behind that. None of the installers who quoted me batted an eye at the old tank-end check valve, one mentioned it would be part of the upgrade if I replaced the tank. So I assumed (but don't know) that Maryland is one of those states that requires the backflow prevention at the house.
Craig - The installer I used did the pump and the wire. He informally expressed the opinion that the poly tube was in OK shape, but didn't put that in writing. I guess I'll see what happens.
It sounds like replacing the top-side check valve would be a cheap fix for the pressure loss, but it would be hiding another problem down in the well. Probably to the detriment of the system.
Really appreciate the feedback.
Got them coming back to look it. Meanwhile I talked to the installer on the phone - he immediately thought of the Pit-less and told me to go listen to the well. As he predicted, I can hear the faint "tinkle" of a slow leak dripping into the well when the tank is under pressure. He says they will come take a look at the O-ring and pressure check the bottom of the system.
I assume replacing the O-ring on the pitless is trivial? I also assume that they should have caught that before they left the first time at which point it would not have been additional labor...
On the other hand, he confirmed the house-end check valve IS required in Maryland. Is that something I need to replace completely, or can you simply refit the innards like replacing a washer? The old one is Flowmatic which I think is now Watts...given that I have to have one, is there a good brand?
You can replace the innards. But if you want a safe supply of water, you won't use a check at the house. With the "innards" removed, no one will be able to tell you don't haver a check valve. A check at the house can leave your underground pipe under a vacuum, which can draw in pesticides, herbicides, bacteria, and other stuff from the surface into your water supply.
+1 to what valveman said. Just leave the leaky checkvalve the way it is and you cannot be accused of disabling it.
I wanted to report back for the sake of anyone else perusing this thread.
The installer sent a someone out. He confirmed the leak, dripping at the pitless was fairly obviously with a bright enough light. So he pulled the coupling and replace the o-ring. Interesting aside, the pitless was old enough to use a leather O-ring; this guy said he'd never actually seen one in the field before. (Comments?) Anyway, he got a new O-ring from the supply house, slathered on some thread dope for good measure, and put it back in place. Seems to have solved the problem. (Never got around to fixing the checkvalve...so we'll just leave that be.)
Thanks for your input.

A vacancy in the office of President of the University can come about by resignation of the incumbent at any time, non-reappointment at the end of a presidential term, or involuntary separation during a presidential term.
When a decision to create a vacancy in the office of President of the University has been finalized, the Board of Trustees must begin immediately to take action to fill the position and to provide for a smooth transition. A first meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board is called as soon as possible to address certain fundamental interlocking issues, such as
determine from an appraisal of the institution's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats,
- leadership qualifications for the presidency,
- statement of presidential expectations,
- position announcement,
- whether an interim President of the University is needed,
advise the Chair of the Board as to how the search committee will be constructed, for example,
- a committee composed of trustees, the President of the Members of the Marywood University Corporation or another Member of the Corporation if she herself is an applicant, administrators, faculty, staff, alumni, and students,
- the number of committee members to be selected from each constituency,
- how a nomination list for committee membership might be compiled from which the Chair of the Board can appoint the committee,
instructions to be issued to the search committee, for example,
- understanding that election to the presidency rests with the Board of Trustees,
- how candidates are to be evaluated,
- manner in which recommendations are to be made to the Board of Trustees,
- need for confidentiality.
The presidential succession and transition will be comprehensively managed in six phases.
1. Private Announcement
2. Public Announcement
3. IHM Search Phase
4. Extended Search Phase
5. Professional Development of President-Elect
6. Official Transition
Phase I. Private Announcement
Phase II. Public Announcement
In order to avoid rumor, a public announcement is made as soon as the decision to create the vacancy is formalized. The following should occur simultaneously to every extent possible:
Phase III. IHM Search Phase
Immediately following the first Executive Committee meeting, the Chair of the Board sends to the President of the Congregation of Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary the position announcement, leadership qualifications for the presidency, and a statement of presidential expectations.
A cover letter includes an invitation for Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scranton, Pennsylvania, to submit letters of application with resumes to the Chair of the Board, or to the Chair of the Search Committee if it is a different person. The letter includes a due date, perhaps six weeks later, with a statement to the effect that the position will remain open after that date if a candidate has not been selected from the initial applicants.
Invitations to Sisters of IHM to apply may be issued by the President of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and by the Chair of the Board in any format appropriate at the time.
As soon as possible following the due date, the Search Committee will interview the IHM applicants and prepare a written, confidential report of its findings for the Chair of the Board.
If the committee has selected one or more duly qualified candidates from among the applicants, the Chair of the Board will submit the name(s) to the entire Board for vote. The vote is taken in executive session in order to preserve the confidential nature of the matter.
The Chair of the Board will submit the name of the elected person to the President of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scranton, Pennsylvania, requesting approval of the Members of the Marywood University Corporation.
A formal offer is presented to the elected person in the form of an employment agreement, including the effective date of employment as President of the University. A cover letter invites the person to meet with the Chair of the Board to clear up any matters the person might wish to discuss before signing the agreement. Once the employment agreement has been signed and given to the Chair of the Board, the person becomes the President of the University-Elect.
Letters of regret are sent immediately to the other applicants.
A press conference is held immediately to introduce the President of the University-Elect to the Marywood community and to the public.
Phase IV. Extended Search Phase
If a suitable candidate has been selected and elected from among IHM Sisters, there is no need for an extended search phase.
If no suitable candidate is found among IHM Sisters, the Chair of the Board meets with the Search Committee to consider a process for a search outside the IHM membership.
Phase V. Professional Development of President of the University-Elect
The President of the University-Elect should be provided with time and money to attend institutes, programs, etc., tailored for new presidents.
If possible, s/he should have at least four months for in-house orientation with the outgoing President.
Phase VI. Official Transition
The official transition ceremony should be in private. It is simply a turning over of the keys to the office, the presidential residence, the presidential car, etc., on the pre-determined date the President-Elect becomes the President of the University. If desirable, there can be a luncheon including both "presidents" with the Chair of the Board and, perhaps, other invitees.
04/20/02 - Adopted by the Board of Trustees
04/21/07 - Revision approved by the Board to provide for substitution on the search committee if the President of the Members of the Corporation is herself an applicant, and change of title of Phase 4 from Lay Search Phase to Extended Search Phase

Jim Payne
Chairman and CEO, Shona Energy Company, Inc.
The Long Pipeline to Success
In the 1970s, Chevron and Golden Gate were neighbors in downtown San Francisco, and the oil company had long provided significant financial support to the university. Chevron executives sat on the Golden Gate Board of Trustees. Hundreds of Chevron employees were enrolled as students every semester, with the corporation providing tuition reimbursement. Others taught as adjunct professors, and Golden Gate was often chosen to develop specialized training programs for the corporation. For Jim Payne, a newcomer to the Chevron's San Francisco offices, Golden Gate was a logical, convenient choice.
"Golden Gate had a good reputation, especially for the night school programs." But when he arrived, his academic background presented some stumbling blocks: too much math and engineering, with no business or accounting courses on his transcript. The admissions officers were skeptical, advising Payne that he would need to take a year or more to complete some business and accounting classes. "I told them that I'd been at Chevron for more than a dozen years. I had a good job and I could read balance sheets. So I made a deal with the GGU Dean of Admissions I had come to know and like; I would take the two most difficult undergraduate courses offered and if I didn't get A+ in both classes, I would go on and finish the undergraduate courses that he wanted, but if I did get the grades, he'd admit me to the MBA program." He enrolled in the two classes, earned the top grades, and by the next term was enrolled as a graduate student. "I like deals," he explains, simply.
He took classes during the evening and on weekends, in the classroom and through a video-classroom program that was being developed by the university – an early version of the telecommunication and online programs offered so widely today. Jim put himself on the fast track, finishing in just a year the MBA program that generally takes working adult students two to three years. "Golden Gate's MBA program was made for somebody like me," he explains. "It was middle-class America: hardworking, results-oriented. I ended up with a lot of similar guys in my classes. One of them was a former major in the military, a couple of guys had just gotten out of the military, and they all had the 'Let's get it done!' attitude that I appreciate."
Jim received his Golden Gate MBA degree in 1974 and in 1976 he was named general manager for Chevron, Sudan. While in Khartoum, he directed field operations and government relations for the company's business segment and later served as Exploration Manager for Africa. Payne says that as he looks back across the landscape of his life, the five years spent in Sudan were the some of the best of his career. Chevron had been actively exploring for oil and natural gas in Sudan since the early 1970s when Jim and Arlene arrived in Khartoum in 1976 as the general manager for Chevron Sudan. Chevron first discovered natural gas in the country in 1974 in an area near Port Sudan in the north near the Red Sea. No oil was found there, so the company began looking further south.
Exploration for oil in southern and southwestern Sudan began in 1975, when the Sudan government granted Chevron a massive concession area. The company started extensive geophysical surveys in 1976, the year Payne first arrived, and drilled its first well the following year. Although that well was not productive, Chevron continued its activities in the area, making its first oil discovery in 1979, and then hitting the Unity oilfield the next year and a much larger find at the Heglig field in the same area in 1982. At that time, total oil reserves were estimated at nearly 500 million barrels from the two fields combined.
After almost five happy years in Sudan, Jim began to get restless, and left both Sudan in 1980 and Chevron soon after. Returning stateside, Jim took a job with Santa Fe Energy in 1982, and by 1990 he was chairman and CEO of the company. He soon developed an aggressive domestic program and expanded into international exploration where the company enjoyed significant success. After numerous mergers and spin-offs, Jim finally retired at 63 after Santa Fe had merged with Devon Energy in 2000.
The retirement didn't last long, though, as Jim joined Nuevo, a heavy oil producer in California. Jim signed on while the company was in a downward spiral. However, within three years, the stock value of the company had nearly tripled. This was good news for Jim, who had agreed to work without collecting a salary; he only wanted stock as his payment at the time he was hired. In 2004, once the company was profitable, publicly traded, and operating efficiently Jim tried to retire again. He failed again.
Currently, Jim is CEO and Chairman of Shona Energy, a company made almost entirely of Santa Fe or Nuevo veterans. With hope, within two years Jim hopes to have his new company to a point where they will become a merger candidate. Once that happens, Jim says "I'm going out to Colorado and I am not doing another job." Maybe retirement will stick this time around.

Tulsa >Food & Dining > El Tequila
8118 S Memorial Dr, Tulsa, OK | Directions 7413336.044841 -95.886404
Daily 11am-10pm
All around good food and one of the best mexican restaurants in Tulsa! – They use fresh ingredients, have a large menu, and serve up some delicious food. The margaritas aren't half bad either :)
Awesome! – I am actually reviewing the Owasso location but I couldn't find it anywhere.
When I first went in I was expecting an average mexican resteraunt, but I was pleasently surprised. The service is fast, and the waiters are really friendly. Right when you sit down they bring you hot, fresh chips and salsa. I ordered the echadallas (sp?) and they were GREAT! The cheese is definently the best. The queso is really good too. The prices are really cheap too. They have TV's everywhere, usually playing sports.
The best Mexican resteraunt I have ever been too.
The BEST Mexican food in Tulsa – I have taken several friends and business associates to El Tequila since discovering it a little over 3 years ago. Authentic enough to taste good (sans the "Tex Mex" taste) but AMERICAN enough to taste delicious. I usually have the Steak Cheese Burrito, it's a hefty homemade flour tortilla generously filled with seasoned steak and the cheese is to die for (it's taste is better or comparable to Velveeta, however, this cheese is thinner and not so "overwhelming". Prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, a couple can eat for under $20, with maragritas under $30. Also, try the Flan for dessert (enough for 2 people to share 1 serving) ENJOY :)

TTU music faculty to bring the Roaring 20s to life
Lovers of the Roaring 20s and fans of the hit PBS show "Downton Abbey" will hear the decade come to life at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26 in Tennessee Tech University's Wattenbarger Auditorium.
Nine TTU music faculty members will perform William Walton's "Façade: An Entertainment," featuring 1920s fox-trots, tangos, polkas, waltzes, yodeling songs and lullabies.
The piece is considered one of the highlights of its generation. TTU voice professor Diane Pulte and Craig Zamer, director of choral activities, will perform humorous and satirical poems by Edith Sitwell set to popular music styles of the 1920s.
Joseph Hermann, TTU director of bands, will conduct flutist Roger Martin, clarinetist Wonkak Kim, saxophonist Phil Barham, trumpeter Charles Decker, cellist Dan Allcott and percussionist Eric Willie. All are members of TTU's music faculty.
"It is a pleasure to share the stage with so many of my colleagues for the Cookeville premiere of this famous and truly entertaining work," said Decker, who coordinated the performance. "It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face."
The concert is free and open to the public.

6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
The Lavin Agency and The New School are pleased to welcome Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jared Diamond, who discusses his latest book, The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? (to be released December 31, 2012). In the book, his first in more than five years, Diamond compares life in modern, industrialized societies with traditional ways of life and argues that traditional societies have much to teach us about conflict resolution, care of elders and children, risk management, multilingualism, and nutrition.
With a unique blend of anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary biology, Diamond depicts a way of life that is startlingly different from the way we live today. Focusing on how we can improve contemporary society by learning lessons from the past, Diamond's message is both urgent and persuasive: With some thought and effort, we can have the best of both worlds.
Jared Diamond is a professor of geography at UCLA. He has won a number of awards, including the National Medal of Science, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, Japan's Cosmos Prize, a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, and the Lewis Thomas Prize: Honoring the Scientist as Poet, presented by the Rockefeller University. His books include the Pulitzer Prize–winning Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. These two books were praised by The New York Times as "one of the most significant projects embarked upon by any intellectual in our generation."
Sponsored by the Lavin Agency and The New School.

A pair of modified coelenterazines has been created that enables convenient, sensitive real-time measurement of Renilla luciferase in living cells. One modified substrate generates very stable luminescence, allowing for the monitoring of dynamic cellular events in situ. The other substrate generates very intense luminescence in cells expressing Renilla luciferase, up to 3 or 4 times brighter than unmodified coelenterazine, and more than 10 times brighter than firefly luciferase with luciferin. These new modified coelenterazines were used to monitor Renilla luciferase activity in a CRE-responsive reporter-gene system, an RNAi-control system, and a BRET system (Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer). For each system, conclusions derived from experiments using the new modified coelenterazines were consistent with those from the standard assay for that system, and the data was easier to generate because of the simple add-and-read procedure.

Serve this Scandinavian cereal with low-fat yogurt or nonfat milk to start your day off with whole grains and some protein and calcium-rich dairy. You can substitute any combination of chopped dried or fresh fruit for the raisins—apricots, apples, figs, cherries or cranberries would all be delicious. Try walnuts or hazelnuts instead of the almonds if you like. Ground flaxseeds stirred in at the end provide a boost of heart-healthy omega-3s.

Wow, your art has taken a flying leap into a whole new level of cool since I lasted visited here. About page thirty two I think.
I love what you're doing with painting - definitely do more of that. And I love your car designs. I just spent a pleasant few moments drooling over the stuff you posted for Driftmania. Petrolhead heaven.
Really amazing work, dude. Keep pounding it out and blowing my mind, you genius you.

Hi Bud
Thanks for stopping by my SB its always nice to see you around, I am also glad you agree with my points on illustrating anything as long as you get paid.
Rather strangely some folks that I meet up with from time to time have had a go at me for "selling out for money" and that "I should stick to one thing like Monet did", That whole conversation was all so breathtakingly stupid that I could hardly get my head around what they were trying to say.
But I guess the bottom line is that "opinions are like assholes! right or wrong we all have one, but we need to remember that sticking it in someones face without warning can get you punched !!" LOL.
Kids are so opinionated these days eh!!?
stay well my mate and keep on posting, I am still around and in your corner if you need a stiff drink and someone to talk shite with!! :-)

Rapid Offensive Units!
General Systems Vehicles!
Someone has been at the Iain M. Banks culture novels again!! LOL I gotta admit I love them too.
I dont know why though I always thought of the rapid offensive units as almost submarine shaped, you know the shorter hunter killer type ones and for the life of me I couldnt tell you why!
I like the long bay too that was firmly in my head when I read excession and they were waking up warships and building drones etc. that all happened for me in long assembly bays like that.
all the best my mate, stay well and keep posting

Your work stuff is so good it's intimidating to even say it.. to put it in a lame metaphor.. it's like an adult putting something on the top shelf and a child saying "Wow!"
The sex sketches are hot too, do I wanna ask how you did those?
Vices thats really fucking cool of you to say man, really glad youre liking it. id hate to think you were intimidated tho, find your voice and youll get it! for the porn drawings i watched some porn and paused it aqnd sketched the frames. i think they were from one called Oh Just Keep on Fucking, starring Game of Thrones Sibil Kilkelli. (imagine how much it twisted my brain when she turned up on GoT!)
here is some tanks for a demo for class. i tried to make a really big tank as practical as i could. so keep it really low and flat so it can hide and shoot hull down style. i think it wouldnt work cos you couldnt move it or drive it down normal roads, but its just for fun so i let me off the hook there!!
see what you think. its still rough so if you see changes youd make let me know.

Anybody out there?
Busy with week 8. Still going strong! Not seeing the results I want, but I'm being patient. I know I'll get there eventually!
Some tough weekends away coming up during the next 3 weeks, but I'm planning my workouts ahead and feel confident that the weekends will be good. I want to really push myself this last 4 and a half weeks, as from what I've seen a lot of the progress happens then.
"Act as if failure is impossible, and your success will be assured"
I am still there. Trying to push hard the past few weeks especially since my week 7 was a disaster. I tried to eat right but I only got my first WO done and then nothing else. So I will push extra hard during my WO and actually feel more motivated now than I did a week or so ago.
I also hope that more progress will be showing soon. I think almost nothing happened in the past 4 weeks. Will get my body fat measured on friday. I don't think anything changed. And I will post pictures again. I hope someone will see a change.
I had a great week 7 except that I introduced milk into my nutrition and I think I started having too many calories. So, backing off the milk this week.
My pants today don't even fit, they're ridiculously big. I've run out of holes in my belt! Yay!
I missed my cardio workout two days ago. I was exhausted, having done legs the day before, tanned and then took a muscle relaxer. Bad idea! The trifecta of fatigue for two days after!
Had a great workout last night on upper body. Then, did my cardio this AM. Tonight I have soccer too. I also missed my cardio on Saturday though I was at a motorcycle class all day and burned a lot of calories I'm sure as I was beat when I got home.
Looking forward to doing my 8-week photos this weekend! Will post them. I have to say, this 12-week program seems like 12 years, even though I enjoy it. Anyone else feel that way?
So glad to hear everyone is still IN this! I do feel like the past 8 weeks have been like months. I am in the same boat as everyone else and seeing only minimal changes. So hopefully this is encouraging- because it is encouraging me to hear about you guys still needing to be patient. My hubby says he notices a lot. My clothes are a wee bit loose but I was hoping for them to be falling off me. I am going to try to get my bodyfat checked on Friday. Man- it is tough. The eating takes so much discipline. This month is big bday month in our family and there are temptations everywhere. So far- I have stayed to only one free day! Have not missed ONE workout! Tomorrow is my daughters 7th bday so I may have to skip so I can be home when she wakes up.
Manuela- way to keep going! We are almost there.
I managed to finish with a great week 8. I've posted my before and 8-week photos below...
Great job! I haven't taken any pics but hoping to get down to about 18% bodyfat. So we will see! Four more weeks to go. Lets give it our all! Still in this and going strong!
Just curious if everyone is still plugging along. In the home stretch now! After looking at my calendar- i realized I officially started on the 9th. I realized that the week prior, I was just testing different BFL meals and not 100% on the eating. Plus my friend, who is doing this with me wasn't able to start till the 9th. Anyways- just saying I am a week behind ya'll. Not that you really needed to know those details but thought I would share anyways.
What changes have ya been noticing? I have lost about 8 pounds and definately getting leaner but really wanting to see some dramatic changes.
I'm still plugging along. Keeping up with the diet and exercise very well. Had a great free day on Saturday though! I've upped my cardio to every day and plan to do it for the last two weeks to get off the little bit of fat left (5-10 pounds or so). I'm a little bit discouraged and starting to question whether those 12-week transformation pictures are legitimately after only 12 weeks. But regardless I feel great and my clothes fit extremely loose now. I'll definitely keep doing it after the 12 weeks. I figure after another 12 weeks I might finally have the body I've always wanted. We'll see! How's everyone else doing?
